Alipay+ and Meizu have launched the world’s first e-wallet payment via smart glasses, with a successful real-world transaction completed in Hong Kong using AlipayHK on Meizu’s StarV Snap glasses.
This milestone turns augmented reality eyewear from a tech novelty into a mobile payment gimmick nobody asked for but everyone will apparently get.
Users can now pay through their smart glasses using QR scans or voice commands, powered by AI-driven voice interfaces, voiceprint authentication, and intent recognition—all so you can buy coffee while pretending to be in a sci-fi movie.
The feature will expand to global e-wallet partners by the end of 2025 as part of Alipay+’s aggressive push to embed payment tech into every object except common sense.
Meizu’s smart glasses integrate Alipay+’s SDK with optical waveguide displays, camera-based scanning, and noise-reducing microphones—because obviously, paying for a soda should involve spatial computing.
This innovation joins Alipay+’s suite of bizarrely futuristic features, including NFC QR-card hybrids and agentic AI payments powered by its GenAI Cockpit, for those who like their purchases accompanied by machine learning.
Alipay+ currently connects 1.7 billion users and 100 million merchants across over 70 markets, proving that global domination doesn’t require a wallet anymore—just a wearable headset.
The companies claim this is a leap forward for the AR industry, ensuring your face computer can finally replace your phone in making impulse purchases you’ll regret with cutting-edge efficiency.
